A BBC journalist was given a tour of a Xinjiang “thought transformation” camp and it was chilling

Reporter: "If they don’t want to come, then what happens?" Official: "We’ve never encountered that before, but we’d proactively guide them."

Hoping to convince the world that the camps where hundreds of thousands of Muslims are presently being held in Xinjiang are schools rather than prisons, China has opened the ultra-secure facilities up to foreign reporters.

The result is this extremely chilling 12-minute piece from BBC reporter John Sudworth that leaves no doubt as to the nature of the camps.
